Both Sides Present Briefs As Next Step
Outcome Rests With Indiana PS. C.
By RICHARD LEWIS The outcome of the three-year battle of Indianapolis Railways, Inc, for higher fares rested today with the Indiana public service commission. Public hearings on the marathon rate case ended last night. They closed with a grim forecast that inflation will continue and that prices may never return to pre-war levels, The company and the city and state which have opposed the company'’s ‘plea for a permanent token fare of 8% cents will now have 30 days in which to file briefs.
Procedure Requires 2 Manths
An additional 20 days will be granted to the city and the state tc answer the brief of the company. The company will then have 10 days after that to reply. Since this procedure will require at least two months, no decision can be made by the commission before the middle of February, and probably none will bg made until sometime in March.
Mr. Stewart has been a deputy prosector under Sherwood Blue for the last six years with the exception of more than two years he served in the navy during the war. He left the navy last February with | the rank of lieutenant, grade. He rejoined the prosecutor's, staff upon his discharge from the navy. Juvenile Court Referee Mr. McDonald, who has practiced law here 12 years, has been réferee in juvenile court for the last two years. Before that he was assistant county attorney, Mr. Cochrane started practicing law here seven years ago and scrved in the navy as intelligence officer and gunnery officer. After his honorable discharge he was employed as an industry panel member of the war labor board. Mr. Eby, who has practiced law here for 24 years, served as deputy prosecutor during three Republican administrations. He also was .a member of the board of works fiom 1935 to 1938 and is a veteran of world war I. Mr. Dunlavy formerly was judge of superior court 3-here and has

Palmer House |=
CHICAGO, Dec. 19 (U. P.),—Two| bandits entered the main floor cafe and bar of the Palmer House hotel Just before closing time early today | and escaped with $1000. The bandits came up with drawn guns from a basement stairway. | | They herded 12 employees and late {customers into a small washroom and emptied the cash register. Manager C. M. Wilson said the robbers were “probably former employees” because of their obvious familiarity with the basement layout! and corridors. While one of the gunmen motioned waitresses and customers toward the rear of the room, the other attempted to compel the cashion, Miss Gracie Walton, 37, to hand over the day’s receipts. Meanwhile, Louis Bernas, 45, bartender, slipped the money from his cash register under the bar and crouched on the floor, saving more than $600.

thesis -that current and’ continuing inflation necessitated a higher rate for transit utilities.
Needed Wartime Profits
Dr. Dorau produced # series of exhibits which showed that transit utilities were the poorest of all classes of utility investments. “Transit investments,” he said, “have been held in disfavor for a quarter of a century. Only by holding out the prospect of higher return can transportation utilities compete with others.” The economist also asserted that transit revenue tends to be stabilized over long periods when costs are not. Transit firms needed wartime profits to compensate for skimping along “during depression years, he said. Pointing to the rapid rise of cost of living, construction and price indices, Dr. Dorau stated flatly that the American economy’ has undergone a decisive change from which it will not now retreat.

price fluctuations,” he sald. “We have undergone a& price revolution. Indianapolis is not exempt from the impact. Bank clearings rose from 80 millions in 1937 to 160 millions in 1945. Debits rose from 200 millions in 1937 to 400 to 500 millions in 1945.”
Million More Passengers
While production was beginning to show signs of returning to postwar normalcy of supply in some items, the continuing lag in automobile production has kept transit riders at war totals, he said. (Earlier, Charles Pinkerton, company treasurer, had testified that the company in the first 11 months of 1046 was carrying 1,000,000 more passengers than during the final war year of 1945.) “There has been money revolution in the United States since 1941,"
the economist testified. “It is an inflation of the money supply without parallel. “We cannot disregard the fact that the dollar is no longer the dollar. Any attempt to reduce public utility regulation to an account. ing method in the face of ‘dollar shrinkage is futile,”
Price Trend te Continue Dr. Dorau then forecast that the current level of prices will continue over a “considerable period of time.” . “The trend will be upward,” he sald, “because the forces which have caused prices to rise are only beginning to operate. Substantial price rises in some commodities are still ahead of us.” The economist asserted that the value of the dollar has dropped 31
/
per cent since 1930, If transit fares had followed cost of living increase, a 10 cents fare in 1939 would be 14 cents today, he said. Asked by Mr. Gilliom whether there would be a significant cutback in prices, Dr, Dorau asserted that since 1807 a revolutionary price rise has never dropped back to preboom levels, The economist also predicted dire effects for cities because of the accelerating trend to spreading out over the countryside. This trend, he said, was hamstringing ‘ransit companies, another reason that such utilities were becoming poorer invéstments. Dr. Dorau was cross-examined briefly by Corporation Counsel Arch N. Bobbitt, representing tthe city in the rate case.
